This might be a bit of a stupid post but...

My T reg 1.2 16v club corsa B has no power steering resevoir under the bonnet that i can see and yet it appears to have power steering because it gets allot harder to turn the wheel with the engine off!!

Am i just blind to the location of the resevoir or have i possibly got electric power steering on my B?

the power steering bottle is located in the drivers side wing it's known as eps(electronic power steering)

one way 2 tell if it has eps is to turn your ignition on to the last click and on the bottom right off your clocks a orange light saying eps should b lit up

Ok, can you turn the steering wheel with one hand when you're stationary and the engine is running?

Ok well the fact your steering wheel can be turned with a pair of fingers kinda gave it away before you discovered the EPS light then.......
